Stats and Effect Analysis
Apollonia’s Greater Elixir lasts 15 minutes, long enough to drink before a fight starts. That way it doesn’t take up your quick slot when you need to heal mid-fight.
It needs just one more catalyst than the regular Apollonia’s Elixir and lasts longer, so once you have this formula there’s little reason to brew the regular version.
Each version has its own Alchemy Formula. The other versions are Apollonia’s Lesser Elixir and Apollonia’s Elixir.
